AIR QUALITY INFORMATION: FROM SCOTT BOJANOWSKI
As we start this week off with wildland fire smoke across our district, we want to send out reminders on how to find the current AQI information using the Oregon DEQ Air Quality Index Map. Please use this website (Oregon Air is available as an app for mobile devices too), to determine the AQI closest to your school or facility. And here is the link to the OHA chart for school outdoor activities during wildland fires.
FIRST STEP APP
The direct link to the First Step app that was previously featured on middle and high school iPads has been replaced with direct links to the apps our students use the most: Safe Oregon and YouthLine.
As a reminder, these two resources also continue to be featured on the back of all student IDs for those in grades six through 12.
First Step continues to be a resource for our families:

If you observe or experience a bias incident, report it right away:
